Field Visits Leave Lasting Impact On Enviro Students

04/06/2024

VCE Unit 3 Environmental Science students had an incredibly enriching and hands-on experience during their visits to Werribee Open Range Zoo and Mt Rothwell Biodiversity Interpretation Centre.

The day provided students with valuable insights into Australia’s endangered animals and the conservation efforts to protect these species from extinction. Students were lucky enough to trap and process Rufous Bettongs, Southern Brown Bandicoots, Longnose Potoroos, Brushtail Possums and the critically endangered Southern Brush-tailed Rock-wallabies. Their experience will undoubtedly leave a lasting impact on their understanding of environmental science and conservation efforts.
